Reminds me of hot summer days back when I owned a Grumman Yankee (AA1B) and was based at a 2000' grass runway. Full throttle....light back pressure....flip the electric flap switch to the down position once about halfway down the runway...glance at airspeed.... say prayer as you go past point of no return.... haul back on yoke and hope you are going fast enough to break ground.... slowly lower nose while in ground effect to pick up some badly needed airspeed.... slowly start bringing the flaps up a bit and gingerly climb out.... open vents to get rid of shiit smell from crapping your pants....
